If you are using an older boat and dont want to spend alot of $$$.... You should find some used older ratchamatic blocks(363's). They work great as a "stand alone" system until it starts blowing. If you use a small spin this alone would probably be enough on your boat. You can also add the old "doubler" cam cleat to the rear beam along with a set of small blocks(082's or 098's) attached to the bottom of the spin to get 2:1 on the spin sheet.

Along with the ratchamatics you can monunt another set of "cheap" used ratcheting blocks(ie: 019's) forward of the ratchamatics for even more holding power and a better wrap around all the sheaves.

All of the above does tend to "soak up the sheet"..... So be sure you have enough sheet to do it, or plan on replacing it.

Everybody is upgrading to the new Carbo air blocks so finding the old stuff should'nt be very hard.

You dont have to spend a lot of money to go fast!!
